Specification of Letters Patent.

To all whom it may concern;

Beit known thatiI, Crrsiiuzs J Son, a

citizen ofthe United States, and resident of Racine, in the countyof Racine and State" of Wisconsin, have-,inven ted certain new and useful Improvements in Windows; and I do hereby declare thatthe following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention refers to slidable and'swing ing windows and has for its object to provide a simple, economical and effective glass carryingframe that is removablyifitted into the slidable window sash, whereby the-glass within the frame can be conveniently removed for cleaning upon both sides, within an apartment. Thus the danger and inconvenience incidental to washing windows of the ordinary slidable type upon the outside is dispensed with.

Other objects of my invention are to provide a glass-carrying frame that is preferably in hinge connection with the slidable sash, whereby the sash can be swung inwardly for the purpose above mentioned; to provide a simple and economical weatherproof joint between the lower glasscarrying frame rail and corresponding rail of the slidable sash member, and to provide a. simple andcifective strip for securing the glass within the frame having an interposed yieldable filler between the strip and glass, whereby the said glass is he d tightly and cushioned -By this constru .tion the glass may readily be renewed without the assistance of a skilled glazier.

With the above and other minor objects in view the invention consists in certain peculiarities of construction and combination of parts as set forth hereinafter with reference to the acompanying drawings and subsequently claimed.

In the drawings Figure 1 represents a sectional elevation of a window embodying the features of my invention, the'scction being indicated'by line 11 of Fig. 2, with one of the window members shown swung inwardly; Fig. 2, a face view of the same;

Referring by characters to the drawings, 1, 1, represent theside ambs of a window bars etween -;n'hich-the fup'pcr and lower I window membersi are adapted to slide in the usual manner. Both the lower and upper window .members compriseslidable' sashes 3 having inwardly pro ecting flanged strips 4, which flangedstrips, inconjnnction with the inner faces, of the slidableframes, form countersunk seats for the si'ipplemental frames These. supplemental frames are fitted with panes of glass 5 that aresccurcd by 'clenchcr rails 6 upon three sides "and a base 'clenoher rail (5, which clencher rail, in

conjunctionwith the bottom of the frame/5,

'casin provided with the usual spaced sash- I constitutes an overhanging weather-shedding strip. This wcatlier-shedding.strip,as best shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings, projects over and beyond the bottom flanged.

strip 4, the upper edge of'whichbottom flanged strip is bcvclcd inwardly, as shown, whereby the joint is protected. -Thuswater dripping from the upper face of the strip 6 will be deflected by the beveled edge of the strip 4, whereby leakage to the interior of the compartment is avoided. This construction is also utilized in. connection with the upper window member for, the same purpose. Each supplemental frame is prefcrably connected to its sliding frame 3 by hinges 7, the said frmnesbeing' adapted to swing inwardly, whereby the supplemental frames can readily be removed from the sashes for cleaning purposes without removing said sashes. In instances where the supplemental frames 5 are hinged to the sashes, a button 8 or other suitable fastening device may be employed for securing said frames when they are closed with relation to the sashes.

It is obvious that, while I have shown an described the supplemental frames as being preferably in swinging connection with the sashes, I may, without departing froni the spirit of my invention,- simply fit the supplemental frames into place and fasten the same by buttons or other suitable co niining nu-ans. in this instance the frames can be entiri-iy removed from their sashes.

As; lwst shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the window pati s 5'' may be secured to the supplemental frames 5 by the clenchcr rails (i, (3', which rails are fastened by screws or the
